HVAC Coil Scrap Cost Calculator at 110% scrap cost scope included: a worked example

Push scrap cost scope included up to 110% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a coil manufacturing or quality team needs to quantify coil scrap cost

The inputs for this scenario

  • HVAC coils scrapped: 72 coils (unchanged)
  • Cost per scrapped coil: 41 $ / coil (unchanged)
  • Scrap cost scope included: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed disposition or analysis cost: 850 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable coil scrap cost = HVAC coils scrapped × cost per scrapped coil × scrap cost scope included) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,097 $ for total hvac coil scrap cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 56.91 $ / coil for cost per scrapped coil.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3,247 $ for variable coil scrap cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 850 $ for fixed disposition or analysis cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where scrap cost scope included sits at 100% and the headline result is 3,802 $, this scenario comes in 7.76% above the baseline at 4,097 $.
  • It multiplies coils scrapped by cost per scrapped coil and an included-scope percentage, then adds any fixed disposition or analysis cost to give total scrap dollars. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Total HVAC coil scrap cost: 4,097 $ (headline result)
  • Cost per scrapped coil: 56.91 $ / coil
  • Variable coil scrap cost: 3,247 $
  • Fixed disposition or analysis cost: 850 $
